A man who was shot to death late Wednesday night by DeKalb police has been identified.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Quintas Harris, 27, had fired a gun at two other men just before police arrived.
The GBI is investigating the late-night shooting, which happened in the 1100 block of Maple Walk Circle.
